Happy to announce that @alexkotch and I are in Rolling Stone today with a story about how major charitable funds have been bankrolling anti-vaccine groups.

This piece is a cross-pub with Important Context.

#Covid19 is not a simple respiratory infection. It affects many organ systems. Here is some evidence for the #prostate.

Today I filed a formal complaint against #YouTube with the Irish Data Protection Commissioner for their illegal deployment of #adblock detection technologies.

Under Article 5(3) of 2002/58/EC YouTube are legally obligated to obtain consent before storing or accessing information already stored on an end user's terminal equipment unless it is strictly necessary for the provisions of the requested service.

In 2016 the EU Commission confirmed in writing that adblock detection requires consent.

🌍Digital data can travel freely across geographical boundaries. But what happens to our rights to have our data protected if they are half across the globe?

@OpenRightsGroup sheds light on the UK extension to the EU – US Transatlantic Data Privacy Framework

The extension provides a sneak peek at:

⚠️the future of UK international data transfers
👁️the erosion of essential guarantees against #surveillance that the UK #DataProtection reform would bring.

Interesting preprint dating whole genome duplications in vertebrate evolution relative to hagfishes, which I had missed this Spring:
• 1 genome duplication before, 1 after hagfish divergence, +2 at the basis on cyclostomes
• nice investigation of relation between genome duplication and morphological diversification (not much).
